Remains of Two Long-Missing Women Identified

Authorities have identified the remains of Shannah Marie Boiteau, a Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin woman who went missing in June 2016 after fleeing a vehicle driven by her boyfriend along Interstate 94 and County Road 74 near St. Cloud, Minnesota. Her family has requested privacy and expressed deep sorrow following the confirmation of her identity, while law enforcement continues to investigate the circumstances of her death. In a separate case, Pulaski County authorities in Arkansas identified remains found in March 2025 as those of Theresa Chwastek, a 62-year-old woman reported missing since November 2024. Chwastek's remains were discovered in a wooded area not far from where she was last seen, and her case also remains under investigation. Both cases remain active as officials seek more information about the circumstances of their deaths. The discoveries provide closure regarding the women's statuses but leave unanswered questions about how they died.
